Logarithmic good reduction, monodromy and the rational volume

Abstract

Let $R$ be a strictly local ring complete for a discrete valuation, with fraction field $K$ and residue field of characteristic $p > 0$ . Let $X$ be a smooth, proper variety over $K$ . Nicaise conjectured that the rational volume of $X$ is equal to the trace of the tame monodromy operator on $ℓ$ -adic cohomology if $X$ is cohomologically tame. He proved this equality if $X$ is a curve. We study his conjecture from the point of view of logarithmic geometry, and prove it for a class of varieties in any dimension: those having logarithmic good reduction.
